The server does not stall the login sequence. The endsess request is not considered part of login as it can be used any time you want. It just so happens that the only time you would use it is post-login as the first legitimate request.<br>

From what I recall, the server was not supposed to stall the login sequence. This and the fact that you may break third-party plugins by force-closing sockets on running sessions is why I suggested using Lamport Timestamps in the first place, even though it&#39;s a disruptive change to the protocol.<br>
<br>
These are just my random thoughts on a problem that I find interesting. Last time I looked at this code was three years ago, so you should definitely double-check on everything I say.<br>
